Best book to learn VB.net

I have an easy question. What is the best book to purchase if I'm trying to understand classes in visual basic .net?

I'm a retard at creating classes and would appreciate suggestions that are less technical in nature.
Thanks!

this is good as a reference, dont think would be the best choice if you're learning everything from scratch: Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Core Reference)

I liked this, read it a few years ago, there might have been a lot of other good books out though: Visual Basic .NET and the .NET Platform: An Advanced Guide ( http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books )

Hi,

The ISDN of Programming Microsoft Visual Basaic.Net (Core Reference) by Francis Balena is 0-7356-1375-3. This contains two CD's, one with a temporary copy of Visual Studio.Net and the other the full text of the book AND the full text of the author's previous book on VB6.

Please note that this book was written for VB.Net 2002.

It is very good and complete, but you have to have patience with the author's desire to educate you completely in the theoretical reasons for needing .Net!!

I found that the better way of learning about classes is to print out the Microsoft Help files on the subject - a bit repetitive but very clear and complete.

Remember that classes is one of the main differences between VB6 and .Net and it is necessary to be very clear about them. Coming from VB6 it is confusing but remember that when you create a form, for example, in VB6 you are creating the actual form you will use, whereas in .Net you are creating a class (or rather a sub class) from which your application will create (instantiate) the form you will actually use at run time.
